Argentina’s farm of horrors: Latest shocking animal mutation discovered

Boy talk about correlation is not causation

The outline of the article follows the typical anti-Monsanto format.

Describe a statistically regularly occurring defect in a dramatic and tragic way. Use terms that inspire emotion like 'horrific mutations'.
Tie the defect to what you want to blame... 'a row over the use of pesticides and genetically modified foods'.
Then promote irrational fears of harm the pesticides cause to support banning them. 'Some people believe environmental pollution plays a role in the animals’ peculiar appearance and untimely deaths' and 'Around 12 million Argentines live in regions where soybeans are cultivated, surrounded by the fields where glyphosate is sprayed'.
It's all for the children...'I see children dying all the time at the clinic where I work'.

Oh, then look at the gallery of all the mutations that glyphosate caused wink wink.

Perhaps pesticides and fertilizers should be banned. All the 'Green Revolution' resulted in was a boatload more people that hate Americans.

One day, someone will write a novel about a farm animal with completely human consciousness.

H. G. Welles came close to doing that.

George Orwell - "Animal Farm."

Was it a Muslim?

[Neoliberalnot]

Obvious why the breathing difficulties.

The picture above is not a cyclops pig. I’ve seen a few cases in sheep.

You can’t get through to people that believe this garbage. Most of it is driven by the usual suspects, lawyers and Internet shysters and charlatans.

It is most certainly a cyclopean pig. The defining feature of cyclopia is that the brain does not separate into two halves, thus causing the eye(s) to form in a very abnormal manner.

Cyclopia can manifest as a single eye with one pupil, two pupils in an eye, or even two eyes in a socket. Sometimes, there is no visible eye, just a lidded socket.

If you don’t mind looking at pictures of highly deformed humans, you can do an internet search on cyclopia and look at the pictures. There are many variations on the appearance of the disorder. Cyclopia is the most severe of a class of brain development disorders called holoprosencephaly and it is always lethal.

Although the picture is not real clear, it looks like the pig has two eyes.

That is within the range of variation for cyclopia. Notice that there is just one socket, and one eye structure that resembles two eyes that are fused or incompletely separated. Some cases of cyclopia have two distinct eyes within a single socket.

Also note the structure on the forehead, which is actually a malformed nose. In normal fetal development, the nose would migrate down between the eyes, but it cannot do so in cyclopia because there are not two separate eyes. This is seen in human cyclopia, as well.

This is Trump’s fault. He’s a racist! Oh and global warming.

Good catch.

Just happens that one of the authors is named Bacon.

Thanks. Very interesting.

Thank you for the reference. The authors discussed the physical aspects of development. I wonder if the affected fetuses ever have any awareness during their short lives, given that their brains are so severely malformed.
